Folding sliding doors are most commonly use to conceal the goings on in your closet. They can lend themselves to other entryways in your home. With a little creativity, you can use folding sliding doors in less conventional ways. In fact, you can use them to bring space dividing interest in many areas of your home.
Even in this widely used application of folding sliding doors, you can make some choices that will make them a show stopping feature in your room. If you have smooth, plain folding sliding closet doors, you can go the direction of painted screen with them. Think grand Asian palace or Art Nouveau mansion when you paint or have your design of choice painted on them. Perhaps you prefer Art Deco or would like to have a pasture scene or city skyline painted on your closet cover.
You might want to have that feeling of religious iconography to create your own cathedral of old. How would you like frosted glass insets instead of mirrors? You could have stained glass closet doors if you desire. You could even transform a standing, folding screen into folding sliding doors for your dressing room.
You can use folding sliding doors to lead to your backyard instead of standard sliding doors. This would enable you to have a rather wide pathway when you fold your patio doors open completely. You will likely use glass, if you enjoy having an easy access to the exterior view. If you don’t mind some obstruction, you can go with mullioned, folding sliding doors. There are so many styles that you can use in order to compliment your architecture. Mission style, the French door look or a grid that’s reminiscent of shoji screens are just the tip of the iceberg. You may want to throw in some strategic frosting or stained glass effects. You may simply enjoy glass in various textures. It’s totally up to you.
You may want to close off your dining room with ebony trimmed, frosted glass folding sliding doors. Maybe you’d rather go with something that’s ornately carved and transports you to Morocco. Do you have a doorway that you’d like to close off, but having a door swing out into the space would be impractical? You can use folding sliding doors. Two panels would make very little invasion into the already tight space. Have you been searching for the right standing, folding screen to no avail? Make your own using folding sliding doors. You can be as bold or as sedate as you’d like. Make your home feel like a place that you only leave because you have to. Make your place so nice to come home to. One of the many ways that you can make your home into your dream palace is through a creative use of folding sliding doors.
